FAMILY LAW: Decisions involving marriage and child custody are difficult and stressful ones. We understand how important your emotional needs will be during that time and how the choices you make as you move through the process can affect you, your family, and your financial future for years to come. That is why we carefully prepare your case in order to reach a beneficial settlement, if possible, and acheive a result that is equitable and allows you to move on with your life. Where a settlement is not possible, Ruth has extensive litigation experience and has handled cases involving the most contentious and difficult matters, including child custody disputes, support issues, and the disposition of complex marital and non-marital assets. In all cases, Ruth has the experience to help you move from emotions to solutions by providing realistic and knowledgeable advice.

ESTATE PLANNING: Most people avoid or postpone proper estate planning. Either they believe they do not have an "estate" or it's just not something they like to think about. However, an effective estate plan can avoid many potential problems for loved ones if something happens unexpectedly. We can develop an estate plan as to how your assets will be distributed and who will make financial and health care decisions for you when you are no longer able to handle your own affairs. If you have children at home, an estate plan can assure you will choose their guardians in the event you can no longer care for them. All documents are prepared for a flat fee, so there is no charge for consultations.
